where to begin?

I know most study groups and people in general begin with the fool. Is that a good starting point in this deck? I know in many decks, the magician is a better starting point. Any opinions/reasons for starting with one or the other?

I know with Tarot of the Old Path, the fool was not the appropriate starting card for my study. having just gotten the Gothic Tarot, I haven't had a chance to decide yet, hence asking.... HELP!

I chose to contribute to the Study Group by pulling a card at random, and then finding the appropriate thread to contribute to after I had gathered my thoughts. Sometimes though I would find another thread intriguing as I read along, and would go find my deck to look up the card for myself. Often, I ended up posting as a result myself!

I tend to take a less structured approach to deck learning. Begin anywhere... just begin! And don't forget the joy of learning through playing... errr ... reading with them too.

I find that I love this deck FAR more than I do most, so I will either pull a card at random or will flip through the deck and find the card that speaks the most to me at the moment. I don't think there needs to be any structure as to which card you start with just as long as you start somewhere!

randomness for me too, as will all my study groups so far i think.

Blessings,
